 The Unified team is a great example of what teamwork and inclusion should look like. It brings together students from the Pioneer program and their peers to compete side by side against other schools with unified teams.
Port Chester StEER Student Athletes proudly participated in partnership with the Pioneer League, showing not just effort and competition, but real unity, support, and sportsmanship.

Congratulations to STEER Sleepy Hollow Student Athlete Dariel Pichardo competed at the Penn Relays and finished in 7th place! Truly something to be proud of. Here’s a great shot of him with Olympic gold medalist Carl Lewis, along with another picture of him and fellow STEER Student Athlete Brayden Richardson!
 Congratulations to STEER co-founder, Mike Eck, who can now add published author to his varied list of accomplishments. His book, Strike Season, chronicles how Mike, and his teammates, coached their high school football team when a teachers strike pulled their coaches from the sideline.
Watch this book trailer to learn more. Mike’s story, and that of his team, is unbelievable, but true. Buy a copy for an incredible read and the added bonus is that proceeds from the book will go to support STEER for Student Athletes, the impactful not for profit which Mike co-founded!  STEER BOSSJ student-athletes are kicking off their AAU season with excitement and determination. As they begin competition, they look to build on their hard work, develop their skills, and represent their community with pride. The season provides an opportunity for growth, teamwork, and exposure as they compete at a high level.
 After undergoing ACL surgery last spring, Laila worked tirelessly all year to earn medical clearance just in time for the final week of the regular season. She quickly made an impact, winning her second Section Championship and earning the #1 seed at the NYS Championships as she aimed to defend her state title. Despite wrestling more minutes in a single day than she had all season, Laila battled her way back to the state finals for the second consecutive year. Unfortunately, an early injury in the finals prevented her from repeating as champion, but as a sophomore, her future remains incredibly bright.
 STEER CSEE student-athletes play an active role in giving back by coaching over 200 elementary school students in partnership with Eastern FC. Through this initiative, they serve as mentors and role models, helping young athletes develop both their skills and confidence. The program fosters leadership, teamwork, and community engagement while strengthening connections between student-athletes and local youth. It also provides a meaningful opportunity for participants to inspire the next generation through sport.
 Student-athletes from Port Chester High School and the Charter School of Educational Excellence came together for a competitive and spirited softball scrimmage, showcasing talent, teamwork, and the strength of the Steer community. In a unique full-circle moment, both teams were led by Steer advisors, with Mike Desimone coaching CSEE and Jeanine Maiolini coaching PCHS. Their leadership on the field reflects the same mentorship and support they provide to student-athletes every day. The scrimmage was more than just a game. It was a celebration of connection, growth, and the shared impact of Steer across our schools.
We are excited to welcome Steer’s 2025–2026 onboarding class, with 21 outstanding new student-athletes joining our community across the five schools we proudly serve. Each new member brings a unique story, a strong work ethic, and a commitment to excellence both on and off the field. As they begin their journey with Steer, we are energized by the opportunity to support their growth, help guide their paths, and empower them to reach their full potential. This new class represents the future of our mission, and we could not be more excited for what lies ahead. We are looking forward to years of impact, development, and continued success together. Welcome to Steer!
 Sleepy Hollow High School football had an outstanding season recognized at the state level. Brayden Richardson and Gilbert Onwe were named 1st Team All-State, Abel Perez Rosario earned 2nd Team All-State honors, and Jeremiah Bowen received an All-State Honorable Mention. Congratulations!
